Broke up with me...again.

I’ve been dating this guy for about a year. In January he ended it but we ended up reconnecting in February and started hanging out and talking since. He has a small daughter who I didn’t meet until a year into us dating. She mentioned to him one day that I’m mean to her, which I never was and which he knows. It just came down to jealousy as I was his first serious relationship after his divorce years ago. A few weeks ago he told me he doesn’t see it going forward if his daughter isn’t on board, despite friends telling him to try other ways to make it work.

This week I slept over at his house for about 4 days. Last night I noticed he commented on a girls pic back in February and it irritated me. I didn’t want to say anything but I did. He sort of brushed it off and said let’s talk about what we’re doing. We had a long talk but he basically told me that he really likes me and wants to love me to his fullest but just realized that since his divorce, which was emotionally traumatic, that he hasn’t been able to love someone as he did with his ex. He said he has no feelings for her whatsoever but the fact that they coparent is hard and that he knows what love is and just hasn’t been able to feel that with anyone else. He told me he thought by hanging out with me more recently would make those feelings advance but they just didn’t. I ended up staying the night bc we stopped talking at 1:30 am and I had to wake up for work at 4:30. He knows I get anxious when things like this happen so he cuddled me in bed. He told me he thinks that it’s best to not text me for 2 weeks so we can have a break from everything and restart as friends. I told him he’d forget and he insisted he wouldn’t. He told me he will always care about me a ton and I’ll always be his go to person. I felt nauseous and he even got up at 3 am to make me tea. He massaged me and kept telling me everything will be okay, that he’s always there for me. I wish he could see my POV on how he loved me even though he thinks he didn’t to his full potential. I seriously just don’t know how to process it all. I care about this man and love him to death. He’s my person. I know he’ll keep his word on texting me in a few weeks and always being there for me. I just wanted so much with him it physically hurts, but here I am at work trying to keep my head up.
